We saw this airplane at Oshkosh, was impressed by the unique paint scheme and took a couple photos.  We didn’t realize it was a total vinyl wrap until we read about it in the AirVenture news paper the next day…  The article said it cost about $6K.  In paint it would probably have been at least $25K…

 

 

 

It was done to honor the pilots pet Cockatoo…  We’re looking seriously at the vinyl wrap option and looking forward to learning more about it.

Hey Fellow Lancair owners,
 
 Wanted to get some feedback on something fairly new that's happening in aircraft finishes.
3M put's out a product that we use to Wrap vehicles for advertising and custom designs like nascar. Recently these vinyl wraps have been used on Successfully on Aircraft. I wanted to get your thoughts on the application of this product on experimental Aircraft like our Legacy's and such. Some advantages of this product is that the design you can apply to the aircraft is unlimited, from actual photo quality Graphics to anything Imaginable. I may play around some with my own Legacy. One of the nice thing's about this product is it's fully removable,  without damaging primer or paint, fairly inexpensive, easily repairable, and light weight. I'll be Playing around some with my own Legacy. If anyone has an interest in following the progress with this application or have any feedback, thoughts or IDEAS!!! you can e-mail me at ptjetpilot@hotmail.com or post your thoughts on LML.
 
Thanks
